After Flirting with the Wounded, Beautiful, Tragic Crown Prince

Blurb 1: Gu Lingyin transmigrates into the role of the male lead's child bride. He will rise to the highest office, then turn around and kill her, the woman who served his difficult mother-in-law in the countryside, for the sake of the girl he loves.

She packs her bags and runs away overnight, only to be kidnapped by a bandit chief who wants to make her his wife. With her hands on her hips, she unleashes a verbal barrage: "I am the Crown Princess of the current dynasty! I told His Highness the Crown Prince before I left that if anything happens to me, your bandit den will be razed to the ground."

The county magistrate hears about it while on his way to suppress the bandits. He rushes over, then escorts (forcibly drags) her all the way to the Eastern Palace, refusing to take no for an answer.

Blurb 2: Crown Prince Dan Xinghe joined the army at a young age and fought across the land. But after he laid down his armor and returned to court, the emperor grew suspicious of him, so he had no choice but to pretend to be frail and ill.

Everyone knows the Crown Prince is a battle-scarred beauty, strong yet pitiful, and uninterested in women.

When people hear that the county magistrate escorted the Crown Princess to the capital, they grab their melons and watch. Everyone knows this is an insult to the Crown Prince, but no one speaks up. They watch as that crude country girl is carried into the Eastern Palace.

And yet...

She strips away the Crown Prince's battle-worn disguise. For some reason, a circle of strategists gathers around him. Somehow, the Crown Prince ends up becoming emperor!

And the farmwife they once mocked is now soft and alluring, sheltered beneath the Crown Prince's cloak so that not even a fleck of snow can touch her.

"Yinyin, will you be my empress?"
